Wishing you a happy Lunar New Year! Every year for Chinese New Year, I try to present artwork of the year's Zodiac animal, this time, it is year of the snake. I painted this one specifically to celebrate the new year. It is my first snake painting! In lilac purple hues and with big rainbow eyes, this cute snake has auspicious coils and is titled "Caihong Yan Zi She."
The original painting is duo oils on cradled wood and measures 7"x5"
If you are interested in the original please contact me. If you're interested in prints and aren't in a huge hurry, they are available if you'd like, please let me know.
